NTP server will not default to 1980. Routers have an internal hardware clock and what it was last set to is what it will come up as.

If we have to configure NTP for PKI or anything else that is time sensitive, what time setting should we use. Once rebooted, the NTP server router will default to 1980 (or something like that). PKI will break once all the other NTP clients sync their time with the master. Or should we never change the time setting on the NTP client, configuring PKI/NTP using the default time at router bootup. I hope that made sense. I just want to make life as simple as possible on the lab.
